In 1973 an 18-year-old Ron Lopez started practicing the art of tattooing in Staten Island, slowly building a reputation that he turned into a family legacy. After his opening of Ron's Tattooing in Elizabeth, New Jersey during New York's tattoo ban, Ron and his sons finally came back home and established Ron and Dave's Tattooing. The Lopez family has become one of the most recognizable family names in the East Coast tattoo scene, and it's that depth of expertise and experience you'll find at our shop. All of our talented artists are trained in all styles and will welcome you in with warm and helpful service while giving you all the information you need for before, during, and after your session. Come in and get comfortable -- we can't wait to get to know you.

I came in for a nose piercing about 2 years ago and was scarred for life. I should've known it was a bad sign when the person working the front desk took me in the back and proceeded to give me the piercing. At first, the piercing did not stop bleeding and later developed exteme sensitivty along with an infection. I had to go to the doctor to get the piercing removed and for treatment. The doctor also mentioned the angle in which she pierced it was not correct.

Love this spot. I've been to a few spots over the years and this is my favorite & for now on my go to. Dave has done both my tatts from here & I love them both. He's a great artist & has a great personality. I love the decor. Flash everywhere. Great artwork everywhere. Clean. Good music playing at a good volume. The rest of the staff seems chill. I'd highly recommend. They do walk ins as well as appointments.
Keep up the good work!Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kayla S.Staten Island, NY77977Feb 28, 2022Updated review
Updating this review to let everyone know that Farag is AMAZING. I came in for a helix piercing today, and he calmed me down (lord knows I get anxious) and he told me a crazy story to distract me!!!
The lady at the front desk was also an absolute gem; the vibes here are great and they really take care of you. I felt so comfortable despite my worries. This is definitely gonna be my new piercing spot for good!
Truly amazing and caring environment. 10/10 recommend this place.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 23, 2021Previous reviewCame in for a nose piercing, and very happy with the result.

Dave has done several of my husbands tattoos but I personally went to him 2 months ago for a portrait of my daughter. To say the portrait is beautiful is an understatement. The shading, the detail, and the beauty was captured in a 3 hour semi painless session. I just left the shop this afternoon with yet another beautiful tattoo and I'm in love! Dave always manages to make my tattoos feminine and delicate which isn't easy for many artists to do. If you want great work and to be around a bunch of fun tattoo artists, this is your shop!

The receptionist (black hair young lady) was the one that pierced my septum it. I believe it was $60-70. The piercing "room" was in the back the door is a curtain. When she was getting the balls to screw into my piercing a man walked out of the bathroom which I didnt know was there. Not a private place for piercings. My friend got his eyebrow pierced. It was $5-10 cheaper than mine. She recommended he get the piercing on an angle which was a good choice. Overall a good experience.

I went to get one of my nipples repierced because it had fallen out a while ago. I had my other one in and i told the girl to please do them as similar as she could, i know that identically the same would be impossible. I told her this more than once before she started doing anything else, because I was really worried about it.
She marks the area and i told her I don't want it there. She says "its just as a ruler so the piercing will be straight but I will not put the jewelry there". Weird but okay if that was her style I didnt want to push it.
She proceeds to fucking pierce exactly where she marked which is my AREOLA. Pretty different from my nipple, two fucking different anatomical parts of my fucking body.
She also used a 1 inch jewelry which to my knowledge is used to allow swelling in tongue piercings and stuff like that. The nipple doesnt swell as much.
I went through all the pain for a disgusting terrible fucking piercing. -5/5Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Carol F.Brooklyn, NY20617317Jan 2, 2022
I got my septum pierced by Jenna over 2 weeks ago at Ron and Dave's. My sister and I dropped by the shop last minute and Jenna was able to do it in under 5 minutes, including prep time. She helped me change my nose ring and then quickly and mostly painlessly pierced my septum. I can't recommend them enough. The price was $76 and included a seamless septum ring. They also have the horseshoe version. So glad to support a great shop on the island.

Really good tattoo shop forgot the guys name who tattooed me (he was really young) he was sweet and really gentle and kind. He made me feel very comfortable and like he really was invested in the art. Ended up with a beautiful tattoo that will forever mean so much to me!

My gf & I got our nose pierced by Paul; he's a super cool and funny dude. He defiantly made the experience much better because getting your nose pierced is an unpleasant ordeal.
